LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run
J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244
LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…
The G347.3-0.5 outlier from O3: a follow-up case study for continuous gravitational-wave candidates
L. Mirasola, F. Amicucci, M. Carrio +31
We report a multi-pipeline follow-up study of the continuous gravitational-wave (CW) outlier identified by the Ming et al. Einstein@Home directed search for the young supernova rem…
Spotlight searches for continuous gravitational waves triggered on radiometer candidates in LIGO O4a data
Alan M. Knee, Keith Riles, Ling Sun
We report on a follow-up search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs) targeting sub-threshold candidates from the O4a LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) directe…
Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +258
We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…
Coalescing Compact Binary Parameter Estimation with Gravitational Waves in the Presence of non-Gaussian Transient Noise
Yannick Lecoeuche, Jess McIver, Alan M. Knee +7
Data from gravitational-wave (GW) detectors often contains a high rate of non-Gaussian transient noise, known as glitches. The parameters estimated from GW signals coinciding with…
Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in five globular clusters in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
Damon H. T. Cheung, Keith Riles, Rafel Amengual +15
We present the results of directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in five Milky Way globular clusters. We carry out these searches in the LI…
Extracting Astrophysical Information of Highly-Eccentric Binaries in the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Band
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Alvin K. Y. Li +6
Wide, highly eccentric () compact binaries can naturally arise as progenitors of gravitational wave (GW) mergers. These systems are expected to have a significant population…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
Detecting gravitational-wave bursts from black hole binaries in the Galactic Center with LISA
Alan M. Knee, Jess McIver, Smadar Naoz +3
Stellar-mass black hole binaries (BHBs) in galactic nuclei are gravitationally perturbed by the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) of the host galaxy, potentially inducing stro…
Search for continuous gravitational waves directed at sub-threshold radiometer candidates in O3 LIGO data
Alan M. Knee, Helen Du, Evan Goetz +7
We present results of a follow-up search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs) associated with sub-threshold candidates from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) All-Sky All-Frequency (AS…
Waves in a Forest: A Random Forest Classifier to Distinguish between Gravitational Waves and Detector Glitches
Neev Shah, Alan M. Knee, Jess McIver +1
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors have observed many tens of compact binary mergers to date. Transient, non-Gaussian noise excursions, known a…
A Rosetta Stone for eccentric gravitational waveform models
Alan M. Knee, Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Paul D. Lasky +2
Orbital eccentricity is a key signature of dynamical binary black hole formation. The gravitational waves from a coalescing binary contain information about its orbital eccentricit…
Prospects for measuring off-axis spins of binary black holes with Plus-era gravitational-wave detectors
Alan M. Knee, Jess McIver, Miriam Cabero
The mass and spin properties of binary black holes (BBHs) inferred from their gravitational-wave signatures reveal important clues about how these systems form. BBHs originating fr…
Cosmological constraints on sterile neutrino oscillations from Planck
Alan M. Knee, Dagoberto Contreras, Douglas Scott
Both particle physics experiments and cosmological surveys can constrain the properties of sterile neutrinos, but do so with different parameterizations that naturally use differen…
A Multi-Mass Velocity Dispersion Model of 47 Tucanae Indicates No Evidence for an Intermediate Mass Black Hole
Christopher Mann, Harvey Richer, Jeremy Heyl +6
In this paper, we analyze stellar proper motions in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae to explore the possibility of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) influence on th…
